Re: Archie Live CD failure due to unionfs

The unionfs detection in archie-scripts is a bit scratty at the moment.  I'm lining up to fix it today or tomorrow, though

it's prolly a depmod issue, seeing as:

[root@sara sidenews]# modprobe sdas
FATAL: Module sdas not found.

the message is exactly the same as spat out by modprobe when the module cant be found Or when the module is there, and it doesnt know about it.

Re: Archie Live CD failure due to unionfs

yesterday we've released latest 0.6rc3 iso (its still hidden, doing last minute testings) and hopefully we'll release the scripts+packages tonight (if dtw will be up...). give us a day to sort things out - i hope all your problems will go away

and just a remark about the unionfs issue - if you dont have a kernel with unionfs patch (the "beyond" kernel does) you will/should be notified by mkliveiso to install unionfs-auto package which builds unionfs module against your running kernel.

In theory...that's what I'll be fixing tonight

Now I have the latest Archie live image on a HDD.
Thank you very much all of you.

I recognized Archlinux is a really good community.

Re: Archie Live CD failure due to unionfs

tnx phrak.
we only use squahsfs-tools package and use our own unionfs-auto package (which like the old nvidia package, builds itself against user's kernel so all users with different kernels can use unionfs).

dtw had fixed the unionfs check, and i will upload new iso and update the repository tonight. hopefully i'll post the news tomorrow morning.

Re: Archie Live CD failure due to unionfs

we only use squahsfs-tools package

So you unsquashfs the actual image?  Doesn't that cause problems?  I tried something similar, with 375M squashed to 128 or so, unpacking it started failing due to ram size.... considering archie is around 300M, how do you actually unpack that?

Re: Archie Live CD failure due to unionfs

we dont unsquash - we mount the squashed image (as read only ofcourse) together with a unionfs mount to allow read/write on the squashfs image (all writings are doable thanks to unionfs). u can look at the init script on initram.gz to see how its done. tell me if u need any assistance.
